Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) - Pharmaceutical Engineering

Chemical engineers solve and manage real-world challenges to create a sustainable future. They take raw materials from the world around us and determine how we can turn them into products for daily use. Ranging across fields, chemical engineers can craft plant-based food alternatives, design clean mineral processing methods to conserve natural resources, revolutionise medicine, and aid in developing sustainable energy resources.

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Chemical) is interactive from the very first year. You’ll work with award-winning and industry-connected researchers and teachers as you:

use knowledge and skills from engineering, chemistry, maths and biology to produce innovative solutions to fuel, food, and pharmaceutical issues
learn how results in the lab scale up for commercial production
learn beyond the classroom by undertaking projects with external groups such as Engineers Without Borders
benefit from tours, projects, and placements with companies like PepsiCo, Smiths Crisps, Jurlique, and BHP
complete an eight-week practical experience.

Pharmaceutical engineering involves the design, development, and operation of process systems to produce pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical engineers contribute to the production of pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, cosmeceuticals and related products.

As a pharmaceutical engineer you'll likely find work in the biotechnology, nanotechnology, cosmetics or food industries. As technology continues to advance, we’re entering an era in which drugs will be dispensed via nano-robots in the bloodstream. As a pharmaceutical engineer, you’ll be well placed to lead such cutting-edge work. Potential employers include pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, research institutes and health organisations.
